Sahil Khan on age gap with wife Milena

Speaking with Bombay Times, Sahil said, “Love isn’t defined by age and our story reflects that. Milena shares the same belief, which is that love is about connection, understanding, and growing together through every stage of life. When I met Milena, she was just 21 and I was immediately drawn to her. I believe the feeling was mutual (laughs!). Despite her age, she was clear-headed, mature, and had a deep understanding of life. We had meaningful conversations about our future, which led us to take the next step. After introducing our families, we got engaged and now, we’re happily married. All I want to say is — she is now my wife, Milena Aleksandra Khan, and we seek everyone’s blessings.”

In the interview, the actor recounted their first meeting in Moscow, where they were both holidaying. “She was having dinner with her mother at a restaurant, and I was there with my friends. I approached her and offered a modelling photoshoot, but she politely declined, saying, ‘No, I’m not interested. I’m only looking for a man to marry, build a family, and have kids’. Her simplicity and honesty instantly drew me in, and at that moment, I knew I wanted to marry her. From that day on, our journey together began,” said Sahil.
